I had an interview prep guy tell me that I didn't need to wear business attire on the flight. He said just don't look like a slob. I don't think anyone is checking if you wore a suit or that AA is playing games, and that this was some type of test. Nothing about the very positive experience I had there would lead me to believe otherwise.

However, the email says business attire, so that's what I did, and so did every other interviewee that was riding the shuttle to the hotel with me (around half dozen of us).

Had to break out my backup suit so that I wouldn't accidentally drop a Sbarro's on my interview suit.

Have any military non-flyers been interviewed? I have the flight time etc, and others in the past have gotten the call, just wondering if any recently have been called.

Thanks

Marc

Yeah they are interviewing civilian only pilots with military backgrounds if this answers your question. But they seem to make up a smaller portion of interview classes.

Non-Military - non flow hire last year. I was hired from a wholly owned (10 years there...beat the flow by at least a year). Job fairs, taking advice from a recruiter and following up got me the interview. Interviewed in June 2017. I was caught up in a delay and got the call August 2017 for a November 2017 class date.

Thanks! I have a military background with enlisted/officer experience in aircraft maintenance. Currently flying for the largest fractional company(I do have a couple years at a 121 regional). Have been to three job fairs, LOR from AA recruiter and two others, it’s tuff to crack the code.

Not really. Don't worry about it. It's not used as a determining factor for the job. I honestly think they use it to see what your reaction is as some of the tests are frustrating and some are incredibly lengthy and boring. Stay positive and do your best. The test gets harder the better you do.

Several guys travelled in khakis and a button-up shirt and all got the job. Day 1 was a mix of suits with no ties, slacks with dress shirts and no ties, and khakis and dress shirts with no ties. I don't think I saw anyone with a tie on day 1. Day 2 is interview suit and tie.
